Quick question, any of you get your m3 from Westchester BMW in White Plains NY? I have my deposit on an 09....which I decided to take delivery sometime next summer...just wanted to avoid the winter up here in NY.

Anyways..if you did get it from there...I was wondering how good of a deal you got....my Sales guy is a real nice guy, very helpful...but not so sure how good of a deal I am going to get. We went over some tenative numbers...and its way too much in my opinion... (given the way the economy is and the obvi fact the M3's are not selling)... It sure as hell doesn't look like the economy is getting any better...so I am hoping for .9 financing still will be the norm for next year....as well.

I have it modestly optioned....what do you guys think...i should offer ....invoice +1 or 2K....??

Your input is most appreciated.

LOL@ westchester BMW, that dealership is a absolute joke... everything from sales to service. I was a loyal customer from 2001-2006ish. I will never walk into that place again. Nothing but a bunch of blood sucking thieves IMO. I personally purchased 4 cars from them from 2001-2005. I also sent about 6-8 family members/friends to the dealership and they have all purchased cars. You would think they would treat someone like me with a little respect. I remember walking into the sales room after dropping my car off for service a few times and getting dirty looks from all the sales guys because I was dressed in my work clothes and didnt look exactly like a BMW driver or potential buyer

I now give all my buisness to BMW of Darien CT. Its not that far from W.BMW actually and the service is great no complaints at all. And especially if you plan to modify your M3, stay away from WBMW as they WILL turn you away with a modified car. They are doing this to everyone I know recently... That place has went down the tubes in the past few years. I even witnessed some of the night shift guys abusing a brand new M3 still taped up from shipping. I saw them ripping it up and down a near by parking lot late at night, I was shocked because they obviously were going against the break in procedures. I would be PISSED if they did that to my future M3!

Go to Darien and ask for Steve, he will give you a wayyyy better price and treat you like you deserve..

i agree with everything posted here....i would NEVER give Westchester BMW my business. They're a bunch of pompous asses. They had an IB 08 leftover a few months ago on their lot listed at 72 and change. I called about it and asked if they would deal it closer to invoice. He basically laughed at me on the phone and said we do NOT discount M cars....ever.

2 days later....yes 2 days...i was driving by and stopped there to see it out of curiosity....they had a big orange sticker on it....$63.9. Boy was it fun to call there and basically tell him he lost my business because of his remarks two days prior. He was so apoligetic...lol

That said...i've come across one of the BEST salesman I've ever met recently at PACE BMW. His name is Ron Holmes. I can't say enough about him and his professionalism while i dealt with him. Please give him a shot. He promised me an 09 and Invoice plus $1500....and I'm sure you can do a bit better. Tell him Chris referred you. I can make a call if you want as well.

HHAAhh yup the big orange sticker at 63 and change they sold it a day before i was going to get it. Doesn't bother me though. They still have a few m5s laying around 08s i really do hate them though!

As for Westchester, I bought my M3 from them back in May of 2008, basically when they were brand new. My Sales guy was a good guy and gave me the best price when i ordered a 335. When i saw they had received an M3 in stock i told him i would like to purchase it instead of my 335. I was able to get a little over 2k off the MSRP from them and this was before the economy was tanking and the cars had just come out.

It really just depends on the SA you deal with. I'm a young guy and every dealership i went to would be the same thing with certain SA's because they would think i wasn't serious. The SA i dealt with at Westchester is young and he was always on top of things. Their service department however isn't the greatest
